The collection kicks off with “Butterfly,” a solemn, yet uplifting version written for the film Because of Winn Dixie and performed solo by Dave. It’s followed by a 2004 version of “Cry Freedom” featuring a powerful performance from LeRoi Moore. Three rousing songs captured on the band’s 2009 summer tour – “Out Of My Hands,” “Lying In The Hands Of God” and “Dive In” are also included.

THANKS: We’d like to extend an enormous thanks to Adam Larson with Adam+Company who generously donated the artwork for the shirt and EP as well as the Ants Marching staff for helping us select the versions of the tracks. Thanks to Musictoday for providing the download service for the cause.

In the wake of the devastation in Haiti, Dave Matthews Band has partnered with Music For Relief to help. From the DMB official website:

American Rejects, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Kenna, Lupe Fiasco, Peter Gabriel and Slash for DOWNLOAD TO DONATE FOR HAITI, a recovery effort to aid the nation of Haiti in the aftermath of the devastating January 12th earthquake. Millions of Haitians are in need of food, water, medical attention, clothing and shelter just to make it through the days ahead.

Working with Music For Relief, a non-profit founded by Linkin Park following the 2004 Asian tsunamis, each of the artists have graciously donated never-before-released music to help raise funds and promote awareness of the recovery efforts.   Dave Matthews Band’s Typical Situation from 07.05.1997 Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA has been selected for the charitable release. DOWNLOAD TO DONATE FOR HAITI provides fans with the opportunity to download a collection of exclusive songs by their favorite artists and then donate funds on a purely voluntary basis. Each download is a donation. Fans can download the 9 unreleased songs at musicforrelief.org and via the websites of each participating artist.  DMB encourages you to donate what you can.  Every donation will help and 100% of funds received will go directly to the Haiti efforts.

Funds raised through the program will support the United Nation’s rapid disaster response efforts through the UN Foundation, the long-term rebuilding of sustainable homes with Habitat for Humanity, and Dave Matthews Band’s Bama Works, Haitian relief efforts.   DMB is developing a full-scale plan for long-term assistance to Haiti  - please stay tuned for more information. DOWNLOAD. LISTEN. DONATE. SPREAD THE WORD. BRING HOPE.
